Elephant Seals

 It was disappointing to learn that Hearst Castle is going to be closed for the next 6-8 months due to road repairs. But a little bit up the road is where the elephant seals are. I watched one flicking sand on itself for a long time and laughed. 

Morro Bay

Morro Bay, California, U.S.A. 

Morro Bay was a place I really appreciate. We arrived at Morro Bay after exploring Pismo Beach. Pismo Beach was beautiful and also beautifully busy. There were moments when I experienced the Olympics (from Tokyo, Japan) in Pismo Beach, which is nothing short of spectacular. Arriving at Morro Bay, on the other hand, was quiet. There was a peace about it that was welcoming and warm. 

The Sea Otter Nursery

 My brother found the sea otter nursery. He’s the only one of us who woke up early enough to explore the area we were staying in Morro Bay on our way to Ben Lomond for a wedding of some family friends. It was an area of the water where the sea otters were protected. The mothers were holding the babies on their stomachs while floating in the water. And that’s what they did while we were watching them. They floated peacefully, while caring for their young ones. 

Nope

 I don’t feel like writing.

Pregnancy Career Search

As you might remember, I was on a mission to get hired while I’m pregnant. Instacart was a great blessing and now, substitute teaching is now a possibility. With Instacart there’s no telling what you’ll have to carry. Maybe heavy waters, etc. Substitute teaching is a great opportunity for pregnancy work. I’m still trying for my Disney job whatever it might end up being. It still seems out of reach. If anyone has any way to help, please let me know. 

Happy Anniversary

 Today is my parent’s 49th anniversary. I am happy for them and looking forward to next year’s 50th celebration. We’re going to have to throw them a big party for that one. I am extremely thankful for their being together for so many years. Their stability, as a couple, has helped me through many of life’s obstacles. 

Blerp

 Last night I got 3 mosquito bites and today my Mom was telling me I’d better spray some bug repellent because there is some type of illness carried around by mosquitoes in Northern California right now that someone has actually died from.
